Rockland County's new law bans the sale of any tobacco products to persons under the age of 21. This including "cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars, electronic cigarettes, rolling papers and other smoking paraphernalia."

Violators of the law could be faced with fines up to $2,000 per day. The law is headed to the Secretary of State and will be filed within the next ten days. 90 days after being filed the law will officially take effect.

Proposals to raise the smoking age in Ulster and Dutchess Counties have recently begun to gain popular support. As of now the only other New York counties that ban the sale of tobacco and electronic cigarettes to those under 21 are Cattaragus, Chautauqua, Cortland, Onondaga, Orange, Schenectady, Suffolk, Sullivan and Tompkins. New York City and Albany also require tobacco customers to be over 21.
